DAVIS ZAIDEN, OF NEW YORK,- N. Y., ASSIGXOR TO ANA ZAIDEN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.-

To all zrliom. it may concern:

Be itlenown that I, Davis ZAIDEN, a subject of the Emperor of Russia, and resident of New York clty, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Securing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a necktie securing device, comprising a collarbutton of a new and improved form, which when once in osition will not rotate in the button-hole o the shirt.; and to provide a` plate which may be secured upon the inner side of a necktie, and adapted to be secured upon the said collar-button quickly and instantaneously, and as quickly removed.

To such ends my invention consists in substance, of a collar-button having a shank of ellipsoidsl form in cross-section, havinfr an enlarged head of substantially the same ellipsoidal-conical form on the outer face and square shouldered at the inner where itis joined to the. shank; and of a securing plate having a back-plate provided with a buttonhead-receiving cavity which securing-plate is provided with two securing spring members, rovided with press-1ugs projecting from tlie same for throwing the sa-ine into the releasing `osition, by which such collar-button and, p ate may be secured together, and prevented from turning one u on the other.

M v said invention is fully s iown and described in the following specification, of which the accompanyirgr drawing forms a part, wherein similar numerals of reference designate like or e uivalent )arts wherever found throughout tie several views, and in' whichz- Figure 1 is a side view of my improved 'necktie securing device taken in central vertical secion, the bow or tie to be carried by the securing plate thereof not being shown. Fig. 2 is a view in detail of the button, and Fig. 3 a detail view from the back of the double securing-plate. Fig. t is adetail view from the back of the securing- )late with the hack-plate thereof removed, sliowing the interior mechanism; and Fig. 5 is detail view from the bac-k of the backplate of the securing-plate.

Ret'errird;f to the drawing z-The butt-on of my improved neck-tie securing device is usuallj formed of one piece of metal struck up into the required form in any desired ,inanner .'and com rises a base-plate 1, a

shank l and a hea 3, Both the shank and Specification of Letters Patent. l

NECKTIE-SECURING DEVICE;

head are of ellipsoidal form, and the head is conical ellipsoidal onnthe frontedge, but is provided .with a plane rear-face 5. The ellipsoidal form of the head facilitates passage of the same through the button-hole and the like form of the shank prevents turning of the same when once placed therein.

` 'The securing-plate 6 consists of a metallic box struck up of thin metal so as to form the faceplate 7, the side walls 8 of which are provlded with slip-sockets 9, to receive the press-lugs 10 of the securing spring-clips 1.1,

and such face-plate is provided, preferably at the corners, with orifices 12, by which the same may be secured by sewing to the necktie desired to b e secured in position thereb and with the central button critico 13 of t ie same shape and size as is the securing-head 3 of theV button. The securinrY clips are struck up out of suitable resilient sheet met-al having the press-lugs 10, the s )ring` fingers 15, and the button-securingngers 11. These spring-clips are placed in position in the box portion of the securing-plate 6, as shown in detail in Fig. 4, with the )resslugs 10 thereof extending out throng the slip-sockets 9, formed to receive the same, through the side walls S of such plate, as

-shown in detail in Figs. 1 and 4, and locked in position b v a back-plate 16, usually of the form shown; which is cut away at the corners as shown at 17 so as to permitof the securingplate being sewed to the neck-tie, and being provided with a dished button-'head-- cavity 1Sx at the center to receive the head 3 of the button. The securing spring-clips 11 having been placed in position in the box of the securing-plate 6, the back-plate 16 is placed thereon, and secured in position in any desired manner, usually b v turning down over the same small securing lugs 1S formed 'integral with the end walls of the face-plate, as sliown in Figs. 1 and 3, and thus formed the securing-plate 6 is fastened by sewing or in any other d sired manner to the tie; when the button having been inserted in the buttonhole of the shirt of the wearer, the tie bearing the late may be secured in posit-ion, by mere v pressing the same upon the button, as the spring-clips will yield as the head 3 of the burton is pressed against them, in such manner as to allow such head to pass by such clips, until by their own resiliency, they fall behind the plane rear face 5 of the head 3, and thus lock such button and securing-plate securely together; until suchtime A as manual pressure shall be exerted upon the press-lugs 10, 'when the tie can of course be instantaneously removed, and it vnll be seen Y- that as the ellipsoidal head of the button lits snugly in the like shaped cavity of the backplate of the securing-plate, this ill prevent rotation of the pla-te upon the button.

The rovision of the button-hole socket 18X, which conforms to the peculiar shape of my button-head, is importa-nt and performs a useful function, in that it insures that the button shall be held against rotation. It is true that the spring-fingers 11', 11 and the shape of the button-shank tend to secure the button against rotation, but the buttonhead socket 18 holds the button against rotation lnore firmly.

What I claim isz- 1, In a device of the class described, a button having a shank of larger diameter in cross section one Way than another and al head also of larger diameter in cross section one way than another; a plate adapted to be secured to a tie and through which said button projects, said plate `having means removably locking the plate to the button;

and a back-plate carried by said first-inem' tioned plate and having a socket of similar shape` to the button head, and Within which socket the button-head rests in use.

2. In a device of the class described, a button having an enlarged head, a securingplate having a cent-ral orifice for the reception of said head, and securing-clips having press-lugs and curved spring-fingers surrounding and clasping the button-shank back of the head, said securing-clips, prcsslugs, and spring-fingers being in one integral piece.

3. In a device of the class described, a hutton having an enlarged head, a securingplate formed with a surrounding vertical flange and with a central orifice for the passage of the head, and tivo securing-c lips resting on the plate and formed of spring material, and having, at their lower extremities, tails bearing against the inner surface of said flange, and having, also, at their upper ex tremities, curved fingers surrounding and clasping 'the buttoneshank in the rear of the enlarged head.

4. In a device of the class described, a hutton having an enlarged head, a securingplate having a central orifice for the reception of the enlarged head, securing-clips having press-lngs spring-fingers and securingingers carried by the securing-plate, and a back-plate to the securing-plate securing the securing clips in position, and provided with a central cavity toreceive the enlarged head of the button so as to secure' the saine against rotation in the securing-plate.
